    Notes: Objective To determine if the discrepancy between gestational age estimated by last menstrual period and by biparietal diameter (GALMP− GABPD) is associated with adverse pregnancy outcome.Design Population-based follow up study.Population Singleton pregnancies were studied when a reliable date of last menstrual period and biparietal diameter measured between 12 and 22 weeks of gestation was available (n= 16,469).Methods Logistic regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used to analyse the association between GALMP− GABPD and adverse pregnancy outcome.Main outcome measures Adverse outcome was defined as abortion after 12 weeks of gestation, stillbirth or postnatal death within one year of birth, delivery 〈 37 weeks of gestation, a birthweight 〈 2500 g or a sex-specific birthweight lower than 22% below the expected.Results The risk of death was more than doubled if GALMP− GABPD of ≥ 8 days was compared with GALMP− GABPD of 〈 8 days (OR 2.2; 95% CI 1.6–3.1). The risk of death was a factor of 6.1 higher if GALMP− GABPD of ≥ 8 days was combined with increased (〉 2 × multiple of median) maternal alphafetoprotein measured in the 2nd trimester.Conclusions A discrepancy between GALMP and GABPD generally reflects the precision of the two methods used to predict term pregnancy. However, a positive discrepancy of more than seven days, particularly with high maternal alpha-fetoprotein, might indicate intrauterine growth retardation and an increased risk of adverse perinatal outcome.

    Notes: Abstract To explore the etiology of testicular cancer, cases of testicular cancer were identified among members of a cobort of Danish boys born between 1941 and 1957 (inclusive), who had attended schools in Copenhagen and Gentofte and whose school health records were contained in an archive under the supervision of the Danish Cancer Registry. One hundred and eighty-three cases of testicular cancer diagnosed before 31 December 1984 were identified; 366 controls, matched to cases by sex and age, were selected from the same cohort. Information on potential risk factors and confounders was obtained from two sources: school health records and midwife protocols, both of which were recorded prior to the diagnosis of testicular cancer in cases. Relative risks (RR) approximated by the odds ratios were calculated and, in logistic regression analyses, adjustments were done for known or suspected confounders. A decreasing risk of testicular cancer with increasing birth order was observed (P=0.020). Compared with being firstborn, being number four or more in birth order was associated with a significantly decreased RR for all testicular cancers (RR=0.3,95 percent confidence interval [CI]=0.3–0.8) and testicular seminoma (RR=0.1, CI=0.02–0.9). No association was observed between high social class and the risk of testicular cancer (RR=1.4, CI=0.8–2.3); neither was age at which the study subjects had mumps or measles related to risk of testicular cancer. No cases of mumps orchitis were observed before or during school years. A slightly increased RR for testicular cancer among boys from small families could be explained by the association between family size and birth order. The observed association between rank in birth order and the risk of testicular cancer was attributed to the reported differences in maternal estrogen levels in first cf second pregnancy, and supports the hypothesis of a tumor-initializing effect of high levels of estrogen early in a pregnancy on the developing testicular tissues.

    Case-control study of risk factors for cervical neoplasia in Denmark. II. Role of sexual activity, reproductive factors, and venereal infections (1992)

    Notes: Abstract Sexual, reproductive and venereal risk factors for cervical neoplasia were investigated in a population-based case-control study of 586 women with histologically verified, cervical squamous-cell carcinoma in situ, and 59 women with invasive squamous-cell cervical cancer, diagnosed from 1985 to 1986 in Copenhagen. Cases were identified from the computerized Danish Cancer Registry. An age-stratified control group (n=614) was drawn at random from the female population in the study area by means of the Danish Central Population Register. A structured questionnaire was mailed to cases as well as controls. Increasing number of sexual partners exerted a significant effect on the risk both for carcinoma in situ, and invasive cancer, independently of age at first intercourse and other potential confounders. Conversely, the association with early age at first intercourse became statistically insignificant after allowance for other risk factors, although an increasing risk was still observed with decreasing age at sexual debut. Early age at first episode with genital warts was a significant risk factor for carcinoma in situ, perhaps indicating a possible increased susceptibility of the cervix epithelium during adolescence. A history of genital warts was a good predictor of risk for carcinoma in situ, whereas a history of previous gonorrhea was associated with an increased risk for invasive carcinoma. Women with multiple births had a significantly increased adjusted risk, especially for carcinoma in situ, although some association was also observed with invasive cervical cancer. The study supports the hypothesis of cervical neoplasia being a sexually transmitted disease, and that carcinoma in situ and invasive cervical carcinoma, to a high degree, have similar patterns of risk factors.

    Serum lipids and breast cancer risk: a cohort study of 5,207 Danish women (1992)

    Notes: The association between serum lipids and breast cancer risk was investigated in a cohort of 5,207 Danish women, who participated in The Glostrup Population Studies between 1964 and 1986. During four to 26 years of follow-up, 51 incident cases of breast cancer were identified by linkage to the Danish Cancer Registry. At the time of lipid measurement, the women were between 30 and 80 years of age. An inverse association was found between serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and risk of breast cancer, which was not changed by adjustment for potential confounders such as social class, age at menarche and menopause, number of full-term pregnancies, body mass index, or alcohol and coffee consumption. The relative risk was 0.3 (95 percent confidence interval = 0,1–0.8) for women in the highest quartile of serum HDL-cholesterol compared with women in the lowest quartile and the relation displayed a significant negative trend (P = 0.01). For serum triglycerides there was a suggestion of a positive association with breast cancer incidence, but the trend was not significant (P = 0.06). No relationship between total serum cholesterol or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and risk of breast cancer was observed. Risk estimates for well known breast cancer risk factors such as social class, age at menopause, number of full-term pregnancies, and obesity were in the directions expected.

    Notes: Abstract National data from 1943 to 1987 on the two most frequent tobacco-related cancers in Denmark, lung and bladder cancer, were analyzed with multiplicative Poisson models. The temporal trends in the cohort-specific risks for both sites and sexes were similar: the risks increased in the beginning of the period covered by the analysis, but then levelled off; and there was no increase among cohorts born aftercirca 1930. Women experienced a smaller increase during the period covered by the analysis in the cohort-specific risk for bladder cancer than men (3.7cf 6.1 times), whereas the overall increase in lung-cancer cohort-specific risk was the same for both sexes. The difference could not be explained by trends in tobacco consumption, types of tobacco consumed, or occupational exposures. On the basis of these findings, it is suggested that women may be less susceptible than men to developing bladder cancer from tobacco smoking.

    Notes: Abstract Risk factors for renal cell carcinoma were examined in a population based case-control study in Denmark. A total of 368 cases and 396 age- and gender-matched controls were interviewed in their homes. Increased risk was associated with low socioeconomic status. For men, an increasing risk with decreasing socioeconomic status was seen (odds ratio [OR]=2.2, 95 percent confidence interval [CI]=1.0–4.6 for men in the lowest socioeconomic stratumcf the highest). For women, the risk was lower in the highest socioeconomic stratum compared with the rest (OR=2.4, CI=0.9–5.9 for the lowest stratacf the highest). Cigarette smoking was a risk factor in men with an OR=2.3 (CI=1.1–5.1) for cigarette smokers with a total consumption of more than 40 pack-years compared with nonsmokers. Family history of kidney cancer was associated with an increased risk in both genders (for men, OR=4.1, CI=1.1–14.9; for women, OR=4.8, CI=1.0–23). Observations were inconsistent regarding coffee and alcohol consumption, and we found no association with tea drinking. The association with socioeconomic status remained after adjustment for other factors.
